Cool! Never heard of the calculator before. I'd love to see a picture of it. I recall I made an mechanical addition machine for numbers up to 50 (or was it 40?) when I was in my early teens.

| | MegaBloks site finally updated!

They've adopted a new format, and they seem to include most of the newer sets, including the Sea Wolf but not the Mustang. Hmm... I notice that none of the MegaModelz sets are featured--I've been wondering if those might be Wal-Mart exclusives, (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
